Definitions
- the invention is relative to a novel microorganism with proteolytic properties, an enzyme composition obtainable from the microorganism, the use of the microorganism as well as methods of hydrolysis especially of keratin.
- thermophilic microorganisms are a source for such thermophilic enzymes. A survey of this is offered by BFE 9, No. 7/8, pp.
- the present invention involves the isolation of a microorganism which has proteolytic properties and can also degrade keratin in natural products in a relatively short time.
- Other embodiments of the present invention are are therefore a keratin-degrading enzyme composition obtainable from this microorganism and a method of degrading especially keratin.
- microorganism strain W
- microorganism is viable and deposited and available in accordance with the Budapest Convention on the International Recognition of the Deposition of Microorganisms for the Purpose of Patent Granting Procedures.
- microorganism as well as the proteases formed from this microorganism exhibit a sufficiently high activity, so that even an enzyme composition obtainable from the microorganism exhibits a good in-vitro activity vis-a-vis proteins, especially vis-a-vis keratin and keratin-containing substances.
- this enzyme composition can also be used isolated from the microorganism.
- F. pennavorans is the first known thermophilic microorganism which utilizes feathers (e.g. chicken feathers) as substrate very well.
- feathers e.g. chicken feathers
- insoluble structural proteins but also soluble proteins can be treated with the novel microorganism and also with the enzyme composition.
- the degradation can be complete; however, as a rule short peptide sequences which can also be further utilized industrially, if desired, are also produced in addition to individual amino acids.
- the biological degradation has the particular advantage over traditional methods that a chemical and/or mechanical treatment of the proteins can be eliminated.
- a further advantage when using the novel microorganism or the enzyme composition resides in the fact that as a consequence of the thermal stability of the enzymes the hydrolytic splitting of the peptidic bond can take place in a favorable manner at a high temperature and that on the whole the biological process becomes more secure against contamination as a result thereof so that even contamination with pathogenic microorganisms can be combatted.
- the method in accordance with the invention is very advantageous for industrial applications.
- the higher temperature also yields a better substrate solubility and an easier attack of the enzyme on the substrate.
- the enzyme composition of the invention is also very stable otherwise, e.g. against SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and urea.
- the novel microorganism and/or the enzyme composition can also be used to eliminate protein-containing waste, resulting in further advantages in combination with other microorganisms such as e.g. methanogenic bacteria. If the peptides or amino acids formed are further converted to methane, a savings in energy can take place at the same time. In addition, alcohols or acids can also be formed.
- the enzyme composition belonging to the invention can be obtained from a culture containing the microorganism strain W, during which the culture supernatant is separated off and concentrated, if necessary.
- an enzyme composition can be obtained from the macuration of cells obtained from a culture containing the microorganism strain W. It is advantageous for the obtention of the enzyme composition of the kind cited if the microorganism strain W is cultivated in a tryptone medium for enzyme production and for enzyme induction.
- the optimum temperature (at pH 10) is in a range of 70° to 90° C., especially approximately 80° C.;
- the optimum pH (at 80° C.) is in a range of pH 7 to pH 11, especially in a range of pH 9 to pH 10;
- Gel filtration exhibits a proteolytic enzyme or enzyme complex with a molecular weight of approximately 200,000 daltons and above and a determination of molecular weight with an SDS activity gel shows two bands in a range between approximately 200,000 and approximately 330,000;
- the E 405 value (in comparison to blank value) after 17 hours incubation at 60° C. 0 2 mM substrate in phosphate buffer pH 7 and 0.3 mg/ml raw enzyme extract, measuring stretch 1 cm is > 0.5 for N-succinyl-Phe-pNA, N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA and Z-Arg-pNA, between 0.3 and 0.5 for H-Gly-Glu-pNA, between 0.1 and 0.3 for acetyl-Ala-pNA and below 0.1 for benzoyl-DL-Arg-pNA, Z-Gly-Pro-pNA, benzoyl-Lys-pNA, Z-Arg-pNA and acetyl-Tyr-pNA;
- thermostabilities are as follows:
- enzyme composition which can stand for one or several enzymes, was selected since the proteolytically active extract has a very high molecular weight (approximately 200,000 in gel filtration on Superdex 200 and between approximately 200,000 and approximately 330,000 in the case of SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gradient gel slab electrophoresis) on amido black stained gel with 0.1% gelatine as substrate). This suggests the possible existence of an enzyme complex which possibly contains the same or different subunits under the described conditions, but not separably.
- the enzyme compositions of the invention as well as their method of use can be combined with enzymes or enzyme compositions--given the appropriate stability--directly, otherwise they can be combined beforehand or subsequently.
- This can further the degradation of oligopeptides, produced in accordance with the invention by degrading of the larger peptides, especially the insoluble peptides, to amino acids.
- the microorganism strain W and/or the described enzyme compositions are used for the degradation of proteins such as in particular also keratin and of those substances containing these proteins, especially feathers, horn or hairs.
- the degradation of feathers is especially useful since their degradation has presented special enzymatic problems in the past on account of the particular structure of feathers and their composition.
- the invention offers an advantageous alternative to the purely chemical degradation of feathers to amino acids.
- the microorganism strain W is also a source for a gene coding a keratinase which can be inserted into other microorganisms. This is done employing conventional methodologies such as those in to Winnaker, E. L., Gene und Klone: Amsterdam Einbowung in die Gentechnologie VCH, Weinheim, 1985; Maniatis, Fritsch, Sambrock: Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Lab., New York, 1989.
- the gene from the microorganism strain W coding a keratinase is inserted into an E. coli or Bacillus and the E. coli or Bacillus is then grown in order to obtain the keratinase.
- the keratinase can then be readily separated from this E. coli or Bacillus by heating on the basis of its temperature stability. Since the microorganism strain W can only be grown slowly as an anaerobic microorganism the insertion in accordance with the invention into the easy-to-grow E. coli or Bacillus permits a more rapid cultivation and higher enzyme yields.
- a method belonging to the invention for the hydrolysis of peptides, especially of keratin or keratin-containing substances such as feathers, hairs or horn into oligopeptides and/or amino acids at a temperature > 50° C. by means of one or more enzymes is carried out in such a manner that the hydrolysis takes place at a temperature between 50° C. and 105° C., the pH is adjusted between 4 and ⁇ 11 and that care is taken by means of the selection of the added amount of enzyme, but especially by means of the selection of the temperature and of the pH that the enzymatic degradation is a multiple of any potentially accompanying chemical degradation.
- a pH of at the most 10.5 is especially advantageous thereby.
- a method for the hydrolysis of peptides, especially keratin or keratin-containing substances such as feathers, hairs or horn into oligopeptides and/or amino acids can be carried out by means of one or more enzymes at a temperature ⁇ 70° C. in which the enzymatic degradation is anaerobic.
- a transfer of the anaerobic degradation into the first-described method is especially advantageous.
- the anaerobic method can basically be carried out at a pH between 4 and 12 and again the pH below 11 and especially up to 10.5 is preferred.
- Especially clean amino acids can be obtained with the anaerobic degradation; in particular, sulfur-containing amino acids such as cystine and cysteine are not oxidized.
- a third variation of the method involves the degradation of peptides, especially keratin or keratin-containing substances such as feathers, hairs or horn are hydrolyzed into oligopeptides and/or amino acids using one or more enzymes and a mesophilic microorganism which is accessible as described above and which contains a gene which codes a protease active at ⁇ 70° C. especially keratinase, which mesophilic microorganism is reacted at ⁇ 70° C. in aqueous medium with the protein, especially keratin or keratin-containing substance, or which mesophilic microorganism containing the described gene is heated in aqueous medium to ⁇ 70° C.
- the aqueous medium optionally after separation of precipitated components such as, e.g., parts of the mesophilic microorganism, is compounded with the protein, especially keratin or with the keratin-containing substance.
- the gene coding the protease, especially keratinase is especially a gene, as described above, inserted into the mesophilic microorganism.
- This method is especially suitable for industrial peptide hydrolysis, especially of feathers.
- the method permits a practically contamination-free operation in which the amino acid and/or oligopeptide products accumulate relatively cleanly and/or can be separated from any impurities such as, e.g., parts of the microorganism in a simple manner, e.g., by filtration.
- a further method for the hydrolysis of especially insoluble proteins such as keratin or keratin-containing substances such as feathers, hairs or horn into oligopeptides and/or amino acids at a temperature > 50° C. and by means of one or more enzymes is advantageous in which the hydrolysis is carried out with such an amount of enzyme, at such a pH and such a temperature that an added, insoluble substrate, especially feathers, hairs or horn, is dissolved at the earliest after 3 hours and it is especially advantageous if at least 50 % by weight of this substrate is dissolved after 24 h.
- This method is terminated with advantage after 1 to 4 days, at which time especially at least 80 % by weight, preferably over 90 % by weight and especially advantageously practically the entire substrate is dissolved.
- a pretreatment such as e.g. an autoclaving, especially a treatment at a temperature ⁇ 130° C. can be eliminated with advantage and it is especially advantageous to even eliminate a pretreatment ⁇ 120° C.
- Such pretreatments were customary in the prior art dealing with the hydrolysis of feathers; however, racemization of the amino acids occurs.
- the above-mentioned methods can also be carried out in two stages, that is, after dissolving at least a part of the substrate used, especially after dissolving more than 50 % by weight of the substrate used, the hydrolysate is further treated with one or more other peptidases, optionally under other conditions (temperature, pH). This serves for a more rapid or a more extensive hydrolysis of oligopeptides produced.
- the invention also comprises a method for the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins, especially of keratin and of such substances containing these proteins, especially feathers, horn or hairs, which hydrolysis is carried out with one of the enzyme compositions described above and/or with the microorganism strain W.
- the enzyme compositions described above can basically be used in all methods in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows the optimum pH of an enzyme composition in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows the optimum temperature of the enzyme composition of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 shows the enzyme activity of this enzyme composition.
- FIG. 4 shows the enzyme activity analogously to FIG. 3 with the addition of trypton.
- FIG. 5 shows the enzymatic degradation of soluble substrates.
- FIG. 6 shows the enzymatic degradation of isoluble substrates.
- FIG. 7 shows the degradation of feathers within 2 days.
- the novel microorganism strain W was isolated from a hot spring in the Azores. It can be cultivated under nitrogen at 70° C. Hungate tubes [capillary t.] can be used for this which are filled with a medium of the following composition:
- Either 0.2 % trypton or insoluble protein, e.g. in the form of a feather is added to the medium as substrate.
- the Hungate tubes are subsequently gassed with nitrogen.
- a sterilization then takes place under generally customary conditions such as e.g. at 120° C. for 30 min.
- skeletal [fibrous] proteins are used the mixture is sterilized at lower temperatures, e.g. at 100° C. for 60 min in order that the natural proteins do not denature.
- the following incubation can take place at high temperatures, especially at 70° C. Under anaerobic conditions the cells grow in approximately 8 to 12 h and a degradation of the skeletal proteins can be determined after 3 days.
- a sporogenesis was not able to be demonstrated upon cultivation on spore medium with and without glucose. No catalase could be demonstrated via a peroxidase test.
- novel microorganism strain W exhibits the following degradation properties:
- Cells of a fermenter culture are macerated (approximately 1 g/20 ml Na-phosphate 50 mM pH 6.8 buffer) by ultrasound. (15 min, 50 %, stage (setting) 6-7, average sonication peak, Branson Sonifier). After microscopic control of successful maceration the raw extract is centrifuged for 20 min, 4° C., 35,000 xg. The supernatant obtained in this manner is used for the enzyme tests.
- proteolytic activity vis-a-vis soluble proteins is based on the fact that aromatic amino acids are released by means of enzymatic activity from proteins such as e.g. casein or bovine serum albumin. These acids can be photometrically detected after stopping off the reaction and precipitation of the non-split protein with trichloroacetic acid in the supernatant at 280 nm.
- the batch is then compounded for stopping off and precipitating the proteins with 0.5 ml 10 % (w/v) trichloroacetic acid (TCA), incubated for 15-30 min at room temperature and then centrifuged for 10 min at 13000 rpms in an Eppendorf centrifuge (Heraeus Sepatech, Osterode). The extinction of the clear supernatant is measured at 280 nm in a quartz cuvette against a non-incubated blank reading.
- TCA trichloroacetic acid
- the cells cultivated in a pure culture or mixed culture are separated at 10,000 ⁇ g so that the enzyme composition is located in the supernatant. From here a concentration can be performed e.g. by means of cross-flow filtration or via Amicon chambers.
- the enzyme composition of the invention can consist of one enzyme or of several enzymes. If this composition is obtained from a mixed culture containing the novel microorganism, external enzymes of other microorganisms can also be contained.
- FIG. 1 shows the optimum pH at 80° C. The latter is in a range of pH 4 to pH 12, preferably in a range of pH 7 to pH 11 and especially in a range of pH 9 to pH 10. The optimum temperature according to FIG. 2 was determined at pH 10.
- thermostability specimens are taken after 15 min., 30 min., 1 h, hourly up to 6 h and after 20 h and the activity determined. Stable means that no appreciable (> 10 %) activity loss occurs between 6 h and 20 h.
- the inhibiting action of various inhibitors on the protease activity furnishes information about the active center and the reaction mechanism of the enzymes.
- Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) bond to the OH group of the serine in the active center of serine proteases and inhibit the latter irreversibly.
- Ethylene diamine tetraacetate Na 2 salt (EDTA) is a metal chelating agent and inhibits metalloproteases.
- Proteases in which cysteine is present in the active center can be irreversibly inhibited by iodoacetate.
- the cited chromogenic peptide substrates are incubated in a final concentration of 0.2 mM together with cell-free raw extract.
- the incubation takes place below the temperature optimum and pH optimum of the proteases in order to avoid a thermal and pH-dependent, non-enzymatic hydrolysis of the peptide substrates.
- the released p-nitroaniline is subsequently measured immediately against a non-incubated blank reading at an extinction of 405 nm.
- the SDS gel has a layer thickness of 1.5 mm.
- the concentration of the collecting gel is 4.5 % (w/v), that of the separating gel 11.5 % (w/v).
- the following solutions are used to produce the gels:
- This solution is filtered in order to remove undissolved particles.
- ammonium persulfate solution is either freshly prepared before use or stored in portions in Eppendorf reaction containers at -20° C. and not thawed until shortly before use. Whereas the electrophoresis buffer is always prepared fresh, all other solutions can be stored for several weeks at 4° C.
- the water is first decanted from the separating gel.
- a comb set free of air bubbles into the still liquid gel serves to form pockets.
- the batch is incubated 5 min at 100° C., then compounded with 2 ⁇ l bromophenol blue solution as well as a spatula tip of saccharose and applied onto the gel with a Hamilton syringe.
- the gel is incubated under gentle swirling in developer solution until the protein bands become clearly visible.
- the coloring reaction is stopped by placing the gel into a 50 mM solution of EDTA. The gel can be stored several weeks in the last-named solution.
- Enzymes with proteolytic activity can be indirectly demonstrated via the coloring of gelatine which is poured into the gel. Tor this, an 11% SDS separating gel is poured as described above. However, as a deviation instead of 2.6 ml H 2 O only 2.0 ml is added and the remaining 0.6 ml is replaced by 1% gelatine in 100 mM glycine buffer, pH 8.5. This results in a final concentration of 0.1% gelatine in the gel. The collecting gel is poured without gelatine, as described above. The preparation of the specimens and the carrying out of the electrophoresis takes place as above. The electrophoresis is followed by a 60 minute incubation of the gel in a 2.5 % triton X-100 solution at 4° C.
- the metal ions are dissolved in a buffer, 50 mM Na--P; pH 6.8. 50 ⁇ l of this solution are incubated with 50 ⁇ l raw extract for 1 h at room temperature, then 400 ⁇ l substrate (0.25 %, pH 10) are added and incubated for 1 h at 80° C. TCA precipitation and determination of activity are carried out as described above.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show the degradation of soluble and of insoluble substrates.
- a defined amount of enzyme 0.1 U/ml
- the substrate degradation in terms of percent was determined, during which cells of the novel microorganism grown on feather substrate (left beam, F 1) were compared with cells grown on tryptone (right beam, F 2).
- an enzymatic protein degradation can be carried out with entire cells of the novel microorganism strain W or in vitro in the presence of an enzyme composition in accordance with the invention.
- the in vitro treatment also has the possibility that a proteolysis can also be carried out under anaerobic conditions at 50° to 100° C. and e.g. at pH 10, which anaerobic variant (see above) is preferred.
